Uncharted 2 might not have had as many amazing set pieces to keep you entertained but its narrative was tighter and didn't have as many loose ends. Marlowe and Talbot pale in comparison as antagonists, compared to Lazarevic who was far more intimidating. I also wanted to see more of Charlie since they had only begun to establish his character.

If the game did one thing right, apart from the obvious visual improvements, it was some of the many tweaks they added to the melee combat system. That was fine. But then they had to tweak the gun handling so much so that I was forced to adjust the sensitivity for the first time in the series.

Still, it was a good game. But it seems like most franchises peak with the second game in the series. Afterwards, the hype goes through the roof and people end up disappointed. Halo 3, Killzone 3, Mass Effect 3 etc.

There ARE other games... Play those. If you're like me and fond of several different franchises you'll never be going through gaming withdrawals (or whatever you want to call it). Unless it's Half Life 3 or Metal Gear Solid... also Bioshock Infinite has taken a long time (but hey they can delay it as long as they want until it's done).

I can't see them making anymore Uncharteds now, if there are more they'll be by other devs. TLOU looks way better than any Uncharted to me.

Yeah, the gameplay mechanics and character animations for The Last of Us look great. You can check out the latest gameplay footage here.

I agree with the antagonists part. There was also some lack of background when it comes to Talbot. I like the increased focus on character relationships in the third game.

My heart literally stopped when Sully was 'shot'. And the whole sequence when the memories of young drake are replayed (drake himself shoots Sully) was awesome.

I wonder when a nuclear warhead goes off, does the frame rate of real life drop?

I loved Uncharted and Uncharted 2, but something about Uncharted 3 that didn't sit well for me. I think my expectations were too high, the level of polish and finesse I required from it was too much and Drakes gravity defying leaps aggravated me no end, so clique and impossible. I'm happy to wait a couple more years for Drake to reappear, PS4 launch title would be amazing. Give ND time to nurture TLOU and maybe brew up a new IP.

I really like the series and loved Uncharted 3. I hoped Sony would release a new Uncharted during this year as Iam bored and I need to play an adventure game. Who agree with me? I might be me mistaken but I like to play Uncharted a lot as its great game fully advanture. When do you guys thing Uncharted 4 will come out?

With The Last of Us deemed for 2013 I have no doubt in my mind that Uncharted 4 (if there will be one) will even release on the PS3.
